Ok Flap,

So what you are saying here is if we were fishing, say, Race Pt. with a 25KT southwest breeze, balls deep in the "surf", and skipping plugs over the tops of the waves we're surf fishing. Let's say the "surf" fishing sucks and we decide to head around to the back with eels. There's no real "surf" now, because the sou'west has flattened out the water. As I reach my feces encrusted hand into the eel bag, Numbskull suddenly appears from the dunes stark naked with an animal under each arm and shouts out, "What the %$%$%$%$ are you guys doing?"
What's your answer going to be?

It's not the bait
At the end of your line
It's the fishing hole
Where all the fish is blind
